Where are the Heavy Gates

[tgbelden]

I have 5 FSDT sceneries and they are great.   My only disappointment is that there are no American Airline gates at O'Hare or McCarren that can handle Heavies.  What's that all about?

The *name* that is assigned to the parking doesn't have any relationship with its ability to handle heavy airplanes, the only thing that counts is its actual radius. A 35m wide "Small" parking will accept larger airplanes than a 30m "Heavy" parking. The assignment have been tweaked this way, to get rid of the default FSX ground vehicles and replace them with custom ones were needed.

There is another way you can "add" heavys to O'Hare and Las Vages and thats by tweaking the AFCAD......Find the parking spot or spots at your airports and change them from.......?? to heavy.
If you use FSX won't matter I believe (Idon't use FSX) the gates come to your plane.....in FS9 you can use AES support and the gates will come to you plane regardless of size.......
